Creating Color Combinations is BACK!


Color Carousel by Swarovski
Hi Everyone!  Swarovski has added Crystal Colors to their Color Carousel, which means I’m continuing the weekly, post entitled ‘Creating Color Combinations’ from September 2011.  What is the Color Carousel? An interactive color wheel available on the Create-Your-Style website by Swarovski.

Quote from the website: Spin out on a journey of discovery and create a whole new world of color! Rotate the upper disc (using the arrows) until your main color appears or click on a color on the color strip below to find your desired color combination.”


 It is available to everyone and costs you nothing to use. You’ll have no trouble using this color wheel, its as simple as 1, 2, 3!  Click on a color in the row and the wheel moves, stopping on your color choice, which becomes the Main color. 

Click on the color to spin the wheel


Sample of color carousel
Under the Main Color is a group of three colors, called Harmonious Colors, a set of two different colors called Contrasting Colors, and lastly the corresponding Crystal Pearl.  

These colors represent the Crystals and Swarovski picked what they thought would go best together when you are designing your jewelry. Sometimes I would use a different color or use an AB in one of the colors.  

Nothing is set in stone, you can mix and match to your hearts content. 



Below are links to each of the articles by the date they were posted, to get you up to speed.  Starting Monday June 25, I will begin my weekly article with all new Braidlet combinations that correspond with the suggested color combinations from the Color Carousel.
